What are cumin seeds?
There's a good reason why cumin shows up in practically every cuisine on Earth, why the Greeks employed it in medicine, and why the Egyptians used it in the mummification process. Cumin has a beautiful aroma, is good for you, and enhances the flavor of any dish. (With the possible exception of mummies, of course.). Many spices were thought to be extremely uncommon and expensive, but cumin was so popular that it spread quickly. By the sixth century, it had spread all the way from Vietnam to England, as well as to some areas of South America and the Caribbean. More importantly, it was inexpensive, making it accessible to every family. These excellent cumin seeds have all the desired buttery and earthy richness. Lightly toast the seed in a dry skillet over medium heat to bring out its oils, fragrances, and flavors. After that, either use it as is or grind it in a spice grinder.
